Master of Science (Applied) in Biotechnology

The MScA program provides training in a rapidly evolving field that has become an integral component in the thinking and methodology of many science disciplines. It is addressed to students with an undergraduate degree in biological sciences or closely related fields, who are interested in industrialpharmaceutical research.

The typical program sequence for the MSc Applied in Biotechnology is carried out over four terms (16 months): Fall (full-time), Winter (full-time), Summer (full-time), Fall (part-time, to complete remaining course work and optional lab work part of an extended Research Project Internship). There are no scheduled breaks in the program.  

Courses are offered on either the downtown McGill campus or the Macdonald campus, depending on the offering Faculty. Courses from the Faculty of Medicine or Science are offered on the downtown campus, and those in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are offered on the Macdonald campus. A shuttle bus connecting both campuses facilitates student's travelling.
